Abstract:

This paper forms part of a much larger case study into the emergence of design capability in the early years, with particular reference to modelling. In order to try to analyse design capability the author identified fifteen different design behaviours and looked for evidence of these with the subject of the case study, Joe. It was begun when he was two and a half. He is now four years and eleven months old. The paper has drawn together evidence from some of these behaviours.
